ShoulderMaster honoured at national business awards

Stabilcorp’s innovative ShoulderMaster attachment has been recognised as an ABA100 Winner in The Australian Business Awards 2016 for New Product Innovation.

The award acknowledges the Wauchope-based company’s achievements in the construction industry through the research and development of the ShoulderMaster.

“The ShoulderMaster is at the beginning of its journey in contributing to making Australian roads safer through its ability to widen road shoulders efficiently and economically,” said Stabilcorp Managing Director Peta Pinson in a statement. “Our vision is that the ShoulderMaster will become a traditional tool in the road maintenance industry which will assist all levels of government in saving lives and reducing serious injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents on Australian roads.”

The ShoulderMaster is Australia’s first universal skid steer paver attachment designed specifically for the purposes of rehabilitating and widening the shoulders of roads.

“For over a decade, The Australian Business Awards have recognised organisations that provide their clients with solutions to modern challenges by prioritising innovative practices that continually push the boundaries of what’s possible,” Australian Business Awards Program Director Tara Johnston also said in the statement.

“The ABA100 Winners have demonstrated a commitment to developing forward-looking solutions to challenges. This adaptability has cemented their position as major influencers in their respective industries.

“Those organisations that can continue to evolve alongside ever changing business models will secure their longevity, continually contributing to the marketplace by disrupting the status quo in a positive way,” she added.

Each year the ABA100 Winners are recognised through a variety of different award categories that demonstrate transformative business and product innovation. Corporate, government and non-government organisations are recognised for their ability to drive innovation through the application of technical expertise in the management of industry leading initiatives, and for the research and development of high-performing products and services.
